New York, NY — Advanced Holistic Center, a leading provider of integrative acupuncture and Chinese medicine, is proud to announce that its founder, Dr. Irina Logman, has been featured in a recent wellness article published by Bustle.
The article, titled “This Pressure Point Is Like A Magic Sleep Button,” explores a growing trend in natural sleep support through acupressure, specifically focusing on the Heart 7 (HT7) pressure point, located on the inner wrist.
In the feature, Dr. Logman explains how stimulating specific acupressure points can help regulate the nervous system and promote relaxation:
“When you stimulate this point, it helps shift the body out of stress mode and into a relaxed, parasympathetic state needed for sleep.” Bustle
The article highlights how this centuries-old Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique is gaining renewed attention through social media, with many individuals seeking natural, non-invasive alternatives to improve sleep quality.
Dr. Logman further notes that acupressure works by triggering biochemical responses in the body, releasing neurotransmitters that help calm the mind and support restful sleep. Bustle

One commonly used point is known as Heart 7 (HT7), located on the inner wrist. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this point is often associated with calming the mind, relaxing the nervous system, and helping the body settle into a more restful state. According to the material shown in the uploaded article PDF, this point is described as a useful bedtime technique for people who feel overstimulated, anxious, or unable to switch off at night.
Heart 7 is a wrist acupressure point traditionally used to support emotional balance, relaxation, and sleep. Gentle stimulation of this area may help encourage the body to shift out of a stressed state and into a calmer, more regulated one.
The article in your PDF explains that acupressure works by stimulating specific points in the body, which may influence the nervous system and promote relaxation. Heart 7 is highlighted as a point that may help quiet mental overactivity and prepare the body for sleep.
To locate Heart 7:
1. Turn your palm upward.
2. Look at the crease on the inner side of your wrist.
3. Move toward the pinky-finger side of the wrist.
4. Find the small hollow area at the end of the wrist crease.
That spot is commonly identified as Heart 7. The uploaded PDF describes it as a small hollow beneath the pinky side of the inner wrist.
Apply steady but gentle pressure to the point using your thumb or finger. You can also massage the area in small, slow circles for a few minutes.
Many people use this technique as part of a bedtime wind-down routine. The article suggests continuing until the area feels slightly tender or until you begin to notice a sense of heaviness in the eyelids or overall calm in the body.
You may try Heart 7 acupressure:
• Before bedtime
• When you feel mentally overstimulated
• During stressful evenings
• If you wake in the middle of the night and have trouble settling back down
The PDF also notes that consistency matters. Rather than using it only once, it may be most helpful when included regularly in a calming nighttime routine.
For added relaxation, pair acupressure with other calming habits such as:
• Dim lighting
• A cool, quiet bedroom
• Slow breathing
• Reduced screen time
• A soothing scent like lavender
Together, these practices may help signal to the body that it is time to rest. The uploaded article specifically mentions combining the pressure point with a calm sleep environment and relaxing bedtime habits.
Acupressure is a gentle wellness practice, but it is not a substitute for medical care. If sleep problems are frequent, severe, or ongoing, professional support may be helpful.
